The ongoing internet blackout in Iran has entered its fourth consecutive week, crossing more than 500 hours of restricted connectivity, as authorities continue to enforce a near-total shutdown amid the intensifying conflict involving the United States and Israel.

The prolonged disruption has significantly curtailed communication channels both within the country and with the outside world, raising concerns over access to information and humanitarian impact.

Connectivity Severely Restricted

The group noted that authorities have also tightened control over alternative access routes, including satellite connections and virtual private networks (VPNs), leaving citizens with limited or no reliable means of communication.
